[DB-SIG] Help on MySQL exception

[Ralf Juengling]

Hi,

I'm a dbms novice and recently wrote a small python program which feeds
data into a mySQL server. Now this program is occasionally stopped by
an mysql exception for no apparent reason: "mySQL server has gone away"
(see below).
I've no idea what's going wrong, since there is another python program
continuously communicating with mysql, which is not affected...

Any hint is very appreciated,
thanks,
Ralf
